MARKOR

Markor is an open-source Android application designed for note-taking, plain text editing, and Markdown authoring. It emphasizes offline operation, local storage, and user privacy by storing notes as ordinary files on the device rather than in the cloud. The project aims to provide a lightweight, distraction-free editor that can function as a personal notebook or drafting surface.

The app offers a simple Markdown editor with syntax highlighting and a corresponding viewer, along with a basic file browser to organize notes into folders or notebooks. Notes can be created in Markdown or as plain text, and users can export or back up their files using standard Android file management tools. Markor is designed to work without mandatory online services, while still allowing integration with other apps for sharing, backup, or synchronization through the Android ecosystem.

Development and licensing: Markor has been maintained as an open-source project with its source code publicly available, typically hosted on a version-control platform. It is distributed under an open-source license, enabling redistribution and modification in accordance with license terms. The project benefits from community contributions that add features such as improved editing tools, search capabilities, and documentation, while prioritizing a simple, approachable user experience.

Usage and reception: Markor appeals to users who prefer offline access, lightweight design, and control over their notes. It is commonly used for personal journals, project notes, to-do lists, and quick drafting tasks. The project continues to receive updates from volunteers, reflecting ongoing interest in privacy-respecting, file-based note-taking tools for Android. See also Markdown and note-taking applications.
